No offence intended but this a subject I feel strongly about.
I am away from home right now, so no good pictures of a Florida Cur. This is a good chance to explain what I think a Florida cur is. It is a type of working dog, not a pure breed, and can come in several sizes, colors and patterns. Ring necks saddle backs, black and tan, black, white, tan, white with spots etc. The ones I grew up with, were mostly red, tan, and and white. They are all purpose dogs bred for working in the heat and humidity of Central and South Florida.
Too many people look at a dog and say "it looks like a Florida cur, must be a Florida cur". The name "Florida Cur" has been hijacked by dog jockeys and new hunters who think they are breeders trying to make money on dogs.
Did it come from actual South Florida working dogs? Just because a dog comes from Florida doesn't make it a Florida Cur. So there is really no way to prove or disprove what a Florida Cur is except in the woods.
If you don't know it's from South Florida don't call it a Florida cur. Some of you Texas guys have seen the same problem with "yella dogs". Some are good some are just yellow. Kind of like the song, "don't call him cowboy until you've seen him ride"
That's what I think about it!
Dunno about south fl. I live in south florida and i know theres some guys on here that i eould consider north central fl that hve some dang sure florida curs. I would say If it comes from true ranch dogs instead of south fl. Cause theres dang sure some boys round here that wouldnt know a real fl cur if you gave it to them.
